Tango Sur Round 2: FOLKLORE

I've always been a big fan of Tango Sur - the Argentinean BYOB steak house on Southport Ave. So naturally I’ve been dying to check out their new sister restaurant, Folklore. Located on Division in Wicker Park, it’s walkable to a ton of great bars and depending on the day you can usually find some metered parking or free parking on side streets. Folklore unfortunately is not BYOB but they do have a wide price range of wines. Our first bottle of wine was a $60 Malbec and the next was a $20 Malbec. They were both good. Folklore still has my favorite empanadas – the ham & cheese and spinach ones are to die for. Everyone at the table thoroughly enjoyed their steaks and we all had plenty of leftovers to take home. Folklore is priced very reasonably for the quality and portion size. Great option for groups or a medium-priced date night – I’m happy to have this restaurant so close to home.


Can't miss the light blue sign from Division.


This picture doesn't do it justice. Now that its decorated, the interior is fun and lively. Go see for yourself.
